<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">In order to ensure that the holiday-period-hiatus enjoyed by a number of community members does not impede their ability to consider commenting on the updated supplementary
rules the comment period will be extended by 15 days to 23:59 UTC on January 25.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">This is to afford ample opportunity to comment following Mike’s request to that effect.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">That should still afford sufficient time for staff to compile a report and give us time to reflect on comments prior to ICANN58.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">A thirty day extension does not appear necessary given the fact that the comment period was to run for the standard 42 day period and will now run 57 days. While the holidays
are within that period they are in the middle of it and the actual document under review is relatively short – unlike documents we grappled with in WS1.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">Also, there have been no other requests for extension. On balance, this seems the best approach to handling Mike’s request.

<p class="MsoNormal">I will not be able to attend this call (at 5a.m. in California), but I would like to request that we request Staff to extend this public comment period. This is a very important topic, which imho has been rushed through this working group
already, and should not be rushed through public comment over the holiday period. There would be no harm to anyone if the comment period is extended an extra 30 days, so that is my proposal.<o:p></o:p></p>
